Here
within the Woodbury City Public Schools, we believe that
there is no career more noble than the field of education.
As educators we not only teach basic academic competencies
but also teach life lessons that help develop our students
into young individuals of moral character. In doing so we
help to shape society and prepare our students for a future
full of potential and success. We, as a district, would like
to honor the following teachers as representatives of all
the wonderful teachers in our district who work hard and
tirelessly to provide for the students of Woodbury the best
education possible.
